In the 46-second clip, Haeun introduces herself as the "brightest little girl in LAPILLUS." She added that a typical girl "who likes to eat and chat." But she transforms to "Haeun with lots of Swag" when she hears hip-hop music.

While Haeun said in the clip that she's already 15 years old, she's only 13 years old by international reckoning, making her one of the youngest K-pop idols to debut in the music industry. She was born on Nov. 2, 2008, so she is yet to turn 14.

Because of her young age, Haeun is LAPILLUS's youngest member. She is two years younger than the second-youngest member, which is Seowon who was born on Dec. 5, 2006.

The only other K-pop idols who debuted when they were just 13 years old (international age) are BoA and APRIL Jinsol.
